Trombone Shorty And Orleans Avenue at Gerald R Ford Amphitheater

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue present the MIGHT NOT MAKE IT HOME TOUR. With a slew of tour dates and wild nights on the list, they're afraid they might not make it home 'cause their groove is hopping across the country for a massive live trek. Touring since 2009, these fellas have been serving jazz music experiences like no other. An acclaimed prodigy, Troy Andrews has been playing the trombone since he was the age of four, because the family already had a trumpet player." Since then, history was made.

Redefining jazz in the modern age, his signature mix of rock, pop, jazz, funk, and hip hop sounds has gotten the world hooked on his groove. With a name that stuck around inspired from the club his parents opened named "Trombone Shorty's", he got his few gigs playing a few times at the family business. Performing in various bands and parades throughout his childhood, he was a jazz star from the onset.

Largely crediting his roots to his success, he was once a child prodigy with big dreams. Though he's a shining icon that placed New Orleans on the map of jazz music today, his journey wasn't all glitter and gold. Fueled by passion for the people, he actively participated in protests back home. "Because of that moment, the kids and people who want to play on the street are still able to do that because of what we did." he shared with CBS News, telling about a time when police stopped their group from playing in Jackson Square.

"Without New Orleans, I wouldn't be here," he shared. "And I really mean that with my whole heart."

Inspired to raise a new generation of jazz musicians in his hometwon, he set up The Trombone Shorty Foundation. The organization aims "to preserve and perpetuate the musical heritage of a city where music is everything." Hoping to share the power of music to young artists, he shares that beautiful notes connect people without boundaries. Recently, he took kids on an exchange trip to Cuba.

"The foundation is just about inspiring the next generation and letting them know that ... through music, it could be your passport to do whatever you want to do," he shared, as cited from CBS News.

A living legend and an inspiration to many, he's keeping it real by letting the groove take the lead. Don't miss out on the MIGHT NOT MAKE IT HOME TOUR by booking your tickets now!
